This report is concerned with the development of an ultra low cost underwater propulsion that can horizontally deploy 500-1000 feet of sonobuoy cable at depths between 500 and 1000 feet. A trade-off analysis shows that the best system is based on a gas driven water pulsejet (hydropulse) and that the best source of gas is a reaction between Lithium aluminum hydride (LiAlH4) and seawater. The fuel cost for -15 minutes of operation is about US Dollar 2. A design for the pulsejet engine was then prepared (the drawings are in Appendix C) together with reaction rate measuring equipment. This culminates Phase 1 of the contract.
